Best Noodle House — Restaurant in Rosemead

This place is truly an overlooked gem in the SGV. I don't even remember how we found it, and they're not going to win any awards for decor or atmosphere, but the proprietor is very friendly and makes tremendous food that is served fast in generous quantities at a very good price.

The noodle dishes we've had here rival any we've had in southern california, including Mian at their best (like right after they opened, not in the past few years). Especially recommend the chungking noodle with red soup, dan dan noodle, and my favorite, the chungking homemade noodle, which is definitely worth the couple extra bucks for the better noodles than those that come with the regular chungking noodle. Happy to find that the prices haven't increased recently, and would love to see more people eating here. It's so good!

If you're a fan of really sweet drinks, order the lemon tea.

This place is just like its name. Bold and pure. It's literally one of the best noodle places that I have been to. I really enjoyed Youpomian(Vegan Hot Oil Noodles) when my friend invited me here in November. So I decided that I have to come back soon. Today was not the best day for dinning because I had my dog with me and my car was away for maintenance. But after my pleading, the staff quickly agreed to set up a table outside the restaurant in the parking lot under the shades for me & my dog which is very heart warming and kind. I highly appreciate their hospitality and flexibility to serve their customer. They don't have to do that. But they're willing to work extra to make customers happy. It's really rare to find a place with both tasty food and super nice service in the area. If you want authentic Chinese Szechuan noodles. This...

The noodle bowls were full of flavour and heat. Lots of spicy options, although I’m not sure you can trust the information on the menu if you’re looking for something non-spicy. I picked the noodles with the mixed pea sauce because it didn’t have a chilli pepper sign, but it wasn’t mild at all. Regardless, the food was pretty tasty. We also got some dumplings, which were very nice.

The ambience was less than ideal, however. While the place was a little hot and looked slightly rundown, what was truly off-putting was the man in the kitchen constantly clearing his throat and hocking loogies. He was really going for it, one after the other, trying to get rid of everything… He could’ve gone to the restroom...
